All three prints were sold on the night of the auction, and the ‘Community’ one was bought by a woman to give to her eleven-year-old niece as her birthday present.
I saw this little girl eyeing my print all night and I couldn’t be happier to think that she would have it hanging on her bedroom wall from now on.

Google Chrome
Role : Design & Illustration // Studio: Buck (NY)
The premise : Chrome is a superfast browser, and the videos promote this by showing
people’s wishes for speed come true in everyday life. In this case, a robot speeds things up at the supermarket checkout line.

Keeping everything bright and colourful, we brainstormed for some scenarios that are uniquely Australian, like the space exploration on flip-flops…
Melting sheep in hot summer sun (they are made of ice creams!)

Fishing with friends sometimes brings unexpected results..

Spy games in the big city

Space explorations on flip-flops!

Movie Night Scenario: Families gather in the backyard, watching their ‘home-made’ film substitute, where other neighbhourhood kids
act out scenes from famous films through shadowplay.

Sports Day Scenario: Two families decorating each house with their sporting team’s colours, being cordial with each other.
But the game’s starting buzzer is about to sound, upon which each family will stare at each other rather viciously,
before rushing inside to watch the game.

Design/Illustration and Animation
About
My name is Lilian Darmono. I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. Recently returned from London, I am currently based in Melbourne. I design and and direct, illustrate, animate, occasionally also composite in After Effects. I paint, draw and travel whenever I can.
As of December 2010, I have an Etsy Store, and a MadeIt.com.au store where you can buy my art and illustrations. I also have a partnership with Mungo Horey and together we’re known as SELF.
I channel my passion for design critique through being a contributor for Motionographer.
If you would like to know more about me, or any specific information about any of my projects, or just to say ‘hiya’, write me at liliandarmono@gmail.com. Or you can also follow me on facebook and twitter.
Illustration Journal
This section displays the four latest images from my illustration blog, where you can find my visual explorations, doodles, and sketches. Things I do for fun. Go here to see the blog in its entirety.
